National Council members represent Roaring Fork Conservancy's most dedicated supporters, fulfilling an integral role in our efforts to protect and enhance the Roaring Fork Watershed. Donors at this level are invited to special opportunities to deepen their knowledge of and appreciation for the entire Roaring Fork Watershed.
Formed in 2000, the mission of the original Rivers Council and Executive Committee was to conduct fundraising events for the benefit of Roaring Fork Conservancy. Now recognized as the National Council and no longer an event planning committee, these dedicated supporters carry on the legacy of those like-minded individuals that share a deep passion for our rivers and our watershed.
Why the National Council matters:
- Dedicated support: Members are the backbone of long-term support for our mission.
- Sustained impact: Funds given at this level support core initiatives – river health monitoring, water quality programs, education, and advocacy – and provide steady, reliable funding without ties to a single project.
- Strategic guidance: Members have access to special opportunities tailored to increase their understanding of watershed science, land conservation, and river management policies.
- Legacy and leadership: Members carry forward the legacy of founders and early river stewards who recognized that change is built by people committed for the long haul.
National Council memberships come with benefits beyond gratitude:
- Exclusive events, briefings, and field outings
- Insider knowledge about watershed projects and decision
- Recognition among peers who care immensely about this landscape
- Knowing that your gift is fueling real, measurable progress
